Looks good. Now you just need to do more things. Like hoses, like JayL said, and maybe even some of the caps.

Red is always a good color for an engine.

You can get a real deep finish one of two ways. Either have it professionally painted with lots of clear, or have it powdercoated. Spraypainting, while looking good, does not offer the kind of deep shine you're after.
